BTW, applicable examples for your case:
$ grep-available -F Depends 'python-central' -a -F Architecture 'all' -s Package
Package: python-sqlobject
Package: bzr
Package: python-pexpect
Package: python-serial
Package: reportbug
Package: python-optcomplete
Package: python-setuptools
Package: python-formencode

(bzr and reportbug are applications mainly and not modules, they're not
good examples for you)
